son and How to Avoid Them In Time.
Mr. Wilton II. Palmer of New York city
received the best wishes of the season from
all the friends ho met on New Years Day,
and believed that his future life was to be
long and joyous. That evening he felt tick
ling in the throat, a slight pain across the
chest and he coughed once, or twice. The
next day his nostrils were inilamed, his throat
sore, and his lungs seemed all filed up. The
day following he was in bed, with physicians
shaking their heads, and the third day he was
dead from pneumonia, which he failed to take

women In America to-day In just the same

he driven of in only one way, and that is by
taking 1t in time. The slightest symptom OF
its approach should strike terror. Physicians
say il must be thrown from the system on the
start, and that there Is nothing equal to pure
spirits for this purpose. No matter how pre-
judiced people may feel toward liquors they
should sink such prejudice when life and
death are concerned. Pure liquors are abso'
lutely necessary when pneumonia Is coming
on, and from the careful investigations of the
ltsl tHtillsts uiu InysiClilS we dIt tNll'
yinced that no liquor now known to the world
Is equal to Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskcy for

WASHINGTON CRITIC
LITTLE SUSIE.

Little Susie's full OF fun;
She is only three times Que;
Full Of sunshine and delight
Little laughter-loving sprte
Every morn she hurries out
To the barn, and round about,
Full OF eager, helpful Joy,
Cause she's "Papa's little boy
Then into the house she comes,
Wipes the dishes, sweeps the crumps
Always In a busy whirl,
Cause she's "Mamma's little girl :"
When she wants to take nap
Up she climbs In grandma's lap,
Giving kisses without measure,
Cause she's g'an'ma's pe'clous tweas-
ure "
Like sunbeam from above,
Susie scattcrs light and love;
And the darling knows not yet
Why she's everybody's pet.

a BAD Plnce for lyOyS.

Alfred Wandell, white man, who keeps
a bar and pool-room at the corner of Four
teenth and l. streets, was fined so in each
OF five charges of selling liquor to minors.
The boys in question were five newsboys,
named VIM. Thomas, VIM. Ball, Joseph
Tabbs, Daniel johnson and Wm. Washing.
ton. Wandell denied the charges, but the
testimony against him was overwhelming.
The police intend to ask the Commissioners

The New Orleans ,,ncinr.

TIC management ht NeW UrIeaus, says
the Sporting World, is making heroic efforts
to keep the racing there on an honest and
straightforward basis, but the general opin-
ion is that 1t has too big a contract. The ln
and out running OF the venerable campaign
ers, who do duty, Is getting more and more
inexplicable, and hackers Ia this and other
solving the couundrum. 1t is like q Chinese
puzzle to explain how horse that runs last

ACROSS THE FIELDS.

Across the fields across the fields,
This bright OctObcr moro pass.
The spiders webs, ike silver shields,
Are hung upon the dripping grass;
Like nummies stand the mulleins serc,
The sumuCh fires are flaming up.
And like a star Of gold CLEANS hero
Aud there late, lone buttercup.
Across the fields, across the fields,
Icatch the Kaleidoscope views;
Ills wand again King Midas welds,
And elm tops turn to golden hues;
The glory Of the autumn wood
The sunset has a rival I'M
The cmeralds are dipped In blood
And reyelTles of death begin
Across tho fields, across the fields,
The breath of distant suowllakes comes,
To II the grape his sweetness yields;
A waillDg song the wild bee huns,
And boys and girls with cheeks OF tan,
The frosted leaves go tripping thrO',
The groves upon the hills TO scan
For treasures each year brings anew.

The Washington critic., 1887-10-10

In the case of the Virginia coupons
It looks as though the United States
courts had rather the advantage of the
State Legislature. If Judge Bond can
suspend a law of the State and i'm.
prison the States Attorney. General for
enforcing the law, the old doctrine of
States Rights would seem to be badly
crippled. But Virginia should not sc.
cede from the Union for little thing
like that. Attorney General Ayres
will doubtless be let out on writ of
habeas corpus, and 1t Is barely possible
